Hi @cathybird I hope you are enjoying the somewhat intermittantly changing weather? I was wondering Cathy whether or not the following counts as a spend, I have joined air tasker and I spent £1.55 to post some printing that I did for the gentlemen, not today but in a few days time I will receive £7.60 for my efforts and costs, therefore I feel it is not a spend in the traditional sense - do you agree, can I make today 2/19 Please? Thank you and sorry for the waffle.Goal 1: Get a permenant job that sticks.
Goal 2: Aim 15 No spend days in January or above actual so far - 0
Goal 3: Get a lodger
Goal 4: Once goal 1 & 3 complete add 1K to the EF
Goal 5: Once goal 4 complete save for my own car as I do need one.2 -
